Fascinating, thx. If you had a time machine, wouldn’t you love to go back and explore the world of the Neanderthal? And ancient Greece, Rome, etc., for that matter. I’d love to see it all first hand.
Only select indivduals are allowed to touch it because you can’t handle the tooth.
Holding on to a 48,000 year old tooth, that served no practical purpose, was the beginning of hoarding.
Oh no! Another victim of white privilege.
